BY JAMES J. RICHARDSOJf. Thanksgiving day usually spells "curtains" for football on the Pacific Coast, and, while the "asbestos" has been rung down on the gridiron game from a point of viewing contests, the question of what the future holds In t-he way of college football will be the subject of considerable debate. The tentative football schedule ar ranged by the members of the Pacific Coast college conference held at San Francisco last- week shows that the future of the gridiron eport, from a college standpoint. Is very wobbly. No contracts have been signed for any of the Pacific Coast dates allotted, and the consensus of opinion is that if Uncle Sam makes serious Inroads Into the colleges and universities of the Northwest in the next draft there is a grave possibility of intercollegiate football being discarded until condi tions right themselves. .The great college game experienced one of its most successful seasons this year, from an Army and Navy playing standpoint. The thousands of college and university men who enlisted in the different branches of the service who formerly wore the moleskins were members of their company or regi mental elevens. The material left for the college coaches was of the inexperienced va riety. This was particularly true of the Pacific Coast Institutions. The next draft promises to create . havoc with the elevens which represented their schools during the 1917 season. When Hugo Bezdek sallied forth from Eugene Friday night his parting words were: "If I don't get the war bug and college conditions are normal I'll be back next year." Following Bezdek's departure a num ber of Oregon's 1917 football warriors came to Portland anxious to enlist in the service of Uncle Sam. "Doc" Macey, lineman: Harold Tregilgas, lineman, find Keith Leslie, center, have made ap plication for the base hospital corps. L. McCready, halfback, and Chris Had dock, guard, are slated for the ordnance department of the Army. A number of other Oregon gridders contemplate casting their lot with Uncle Sam. This is only one institution's offer ing to the cause. When the entire Pa cifio Coast conference has done its nhare, besides what damage the draft may cause, football prospects are none too encouraging, from a college point of view, in 1918. Jay Fox, Portland boy, assistant man ager of the University of Oregon foot ball squad this season an 1 a star bas ketball and baseball player, was in Portland yesterday on his way to Seat tle, where he will be examined for the aviation corps. James Sheehy, president of ttie Ore iron student body and outfielder on the baseball team, is contemplating entry into the ordnance department of the Army. Sheehy is one of the most prom inent ballplayers In Northwest college baseball, and. a number of Coast League clubs have'made him offers to take a flyer at professional baseball.

"Sure Tucker won," excitedly ex claimed one of the crowd. Williams had the last two rounds. didn't he. and if he ain't entitled to the fight, who is?" retorted the man next to him. "See here, atranger, where I come from thev have had some of the great est fights in the world and they give the decision to the man who does the leading and hits the cleanest blows, and that's what Tucker did the first four rounds." "Tucker missed more than he landed. "He did not! Did Tucker miss In the Third round when he swatted Williams on the jaw and Billy, had to hold on? You just admitted Tucker had the first four rounds and did the leading ana that Williams had the fast two, didn't vouT" "Never mind what l aaia; wuiiams won the fight.'- "Well. I say he didn't." "1 don't care what you say, Williams had the last two rounds and that's enough." "All right, we will ask the Boxing Commission to cut out the first four rounds of fighting after this, as long as thev don't figure in the decision, and let's have onlv two rounds. 'How's that?" "No, I want my money's worth; there must be six rounds. "Have a cigar?" "I never tmoke." "Well, let's have a drink. Where's the aoda water kid?" The light harness race ownera and drivers of the California Fair and Rac ing Association have many things in mind which they will consider when they meet at San Francisco December 22. After the State Fair races held in Sacramento last September many of the owners declared that the game was "going back" and some great changes would have to take place financially. Now the owners have shifted from their financial complaints and are bel lowing about the records given the va rious horses and of the work of the watch men. Hal Logan, the peerless pacer, owned by Elmo Montgomery, of Davis, Cal., is one of the horses which is causing much controversy in turf gossip. The steed, during the past sea son, won 16 races by the straight heat method and the wonderful pacer is al leged to be in the wrong class. Hal Logan Causes How. Hal Logan has been pacing with the thoroughbreds that are in the 2:06 di vision and some of the knights of the turf seem to be of the opinion that the animal should drop down with the 2:04 steppers. It was declared recently at Fresno, Cal., that Hal Logan's time for his best heat was hung out by the timers as 2:05, but B. F. Townsend, who drives for M. L. Moy and had J. C. L. In the same race, said the time was actually 2:04. Townsend registered a protest to that effect. The well-known "Pop" Durfee also has something to say in, regard to the handlers of the watches. "Pop" says he has been holding watches on the speedsters for 50 years and had his clock at Phoenix, Aria, when Future Tramp beat Zetta Lucille in a seven- heat race. Fast Time Reported. He says the miles were stepped off in 2:07V. 2:074. 2:08. 2:09. 2rl0 and 2:ll1j. but every card hung out for the public had a fraction attached to 2:09 In all the heats. If the figures of Durfee are correct Future Tramp hung up a record. The sulky owners of California have not been in the best of humor over the condition of harness racing affairs during the past season. After almost every meeting some of the owners and drivers had condemning words to utter over the condition of the racing game in the Bear State. It is always a difficult matter to solve'the inside of the sulky complaints and many of the followers are wonder ing whether it is a case of a poor loser or due to financial losses. Linn County Contributes $3020.50. ALBANY, Or., Dec 8. (Special.) Linn County contributed 13020.50 to the state game fund from the issuance of licenses in the first 11 months of this year. Of this amount $1461 was collected from the sale of hunting li censes, $1152.50 from fishing licenses nd $407 from the sale of combination licenses. Wliy Is v. Football, Made of Cow hide or Sheep, Called a "Pis skin"? Flrbt Ones Made of Hog's Bladder. Despite the efforts of the football rules committee to clarify the foot ball code a knotty problem Is presented to them for solution at every annual meeting. says a prominent Eastern sport writer.. It will be remembered some years ago that the committee was obliged to make the rule defining what con stituted a goal from field so definite that It could not possibly be mis construed. This arose from the fact that a player In trying for a goal from field kicked the ball legally, it struck the ground and then hopped over the bar. This freak play occurred twice in the same year. The referee in one game decided It counted as a goal, but the official in the other game made a reverse deci sion. This year another play has been made twice and two different rulings made by different officials. The Question is this: Is a player who is eligible to receive a forward pass, who steps out of bounds for any reason and then completes the play by stepping back into the field before making the catch, permitted to claim a legally caught forward pass? This play has been declared legal by com petent officials and the reverse decision has been made. It occurred in a game In which Fred Murphy, the former Brown end and highly efficient official, was refereeing and he allowed the catch. Why Is a football called a "pigskin" when it is made out of cowhide; that is the regulation or high-priced balls are made of cowhide, while the cheaper ones are made out of sheepskin? The skin used In covering the balls is im ported from England, where it Is tanned especially for this purpose. The blad ders used are made of the best para rubber. In football's early Infancy, In Eng land, the bladder of a pig was blown up and used in place of the rubbet bladder used today and this is probably tow the term originated.

CHICAGO. Nov. 29. There Is little doubt but that Minesota and Michigan will get together In football next Fall for a renewal of th athletic relations severed in 1910 when the conference or dered Minnesota to stop playing the Wolverines under the rule that no con ference team should have aught to do with any "former member" of the or ganization. The negotiations for the game of 1918 are in the preliminary sta&e. Word reached Minneapolis recently that there was a plan on foot whereby Michigan and Chicago would play next Fall, that this would mean the elimination of the Chicago-Minnesota game and that it was extremely doubtful If the Wolver ines would be able to play Minnesota .next year. This led Michigan alumni In Minne apolis and others to start a quiet In vestigation of the situation. It de veloped that Michigan is not entertain ing any thought of not making a Minnesota-Michigan game next year If the Gophers want to play. Mutual felicita tions have been passed back and forth and Michigan's athletic authorities have notiefid the Gophers inlormally that nothing would give them any greater pleasure than to re-establish athletic relations with Minnesota and that as quickly as the time comes for that sort of thing Minnesota would find Michigan ready to talk business. Minnesota'slabors in behalf of Mich igan since 1808 are appreciated, these leaders say, and while the affair is in the preliminary negotiation stage and such action, as is finally taken is sub ject to ratification both at Minneapolis and Ann Arbor the expressions of friendship are such that the game seems a certainty if Minnesota wants it. which she does. Just what effect this would have on the remainder of Minnesota's schedule is unknown, although Chicago is said not to have been keen to play the Go phers this year and is expected to step off Minnesota's schedule If a game be tween the Maroons and Wolverines is arranged.
